Those excited to ride on the Hyperloop on their own will be pleased to know that they could be riding using the tech in only five years. At least, that's what Hyperloop Technologies CEO Rob Lloyd is aiming to accomplish.

Dong Energy has announced a new project for an offshore wind farm, which will be, according to the company, the largest offshore wind farm in the world, offering 660 megawatts of energy, beating out the current record-holder, which is 630 megawatts and also built by Dong.

Researchers built a new optical graphene detector that can monitor light incidents in just 40 picoseconds. The new graphene detector is the first model to effectively monitor all light from visible to infrared to terahertz radiation.

Ben Bronsema, an 80-year-old designer and engineer, has designed a hotel that can cool itself without the use of a traditional air conditioning system powered by electricity. In fact, the hotel might become the 'first (nearly) zero-energy hotel' in history.

A team of researchers was able to use a layer of tungsten and a specially made resonator to produce high quality 2D laser. This is a big step in getting closer to developing next-generation photonic devices.

Researchers challenged what Einstein firmly believed was not possible: the quantum theory. In a new study, scientists were able to close all the loopholes questioning the existing connection between two objects separated by distance.

Scientists have genetically engineered a virus which can improve the efficiency of solar cells by using the same quantum effects that plants apply during photosynthesis. Scientists hope that practical applications will be done in the future.

The Irvine Company struck a deal with Advanced Microgrid Solutions to fit office buildings with Tesla energy storage batteries in Irvine, California, significantly cutting down electric usage during peak hours. The first phase of the project is set to finish in 2016.

Although challenges remain, fusion reactors could compete with fission nuclear power plants in providing electricity, analysis suggests. New advances in technology could make them economically feasible, researchers say.

Freevolt technology can transform the radio waves from the air into electricity that can be used by devices with low energy requirements. One pegged application for the technology is the Internet of Things.

A Kickstarter campaign has been started for a power turbine called the Trinity. The campaign has already far exceeded its goal, and the turbine comes in four different models, the largest of which can power an entire house.

NIST scientists set a new distance record when they successfully transported quantum data over 100 kilometers of optical fiber, a feat that could pave way to quantum internet and impact cryptography technologies.

The Cochin Airport in India has announced that its international airport will be run entirely on solar power, making it the first in the world to do so. The Indian government has begun directing other airports in India to do the same.

A new record high for temperature was achieved for superconductors, which could pave the way for superconductors that work at room temperature. Such advance could revolutionize the field of electronics.

Scientists are looking forward to growing and harvesting algae that will allow them to extract a natural source of biofuel. Abundant, clean and easy to process, algae can produce energy for transportation equivalent to the energy in biofuel produced by crops that cover a land mass three times the U.S.

MIT researchers have come up with a design for a tiny fusion reactor that might have the potential to generate just as much energy as larger planned reactors - and could bring practical, limitless energy to the public in less than a decade.
